Definitions
- the invention relates to a radar system for use in driver assistance systems in the motor vehicle.
- the radar system has an elevation measuring capability according to the invention.
- Motor vehicles are increasingly equipped with driver assistance systems, which with the aid of sensor systems detect the environment and from the thus recognized traffic situation derive automatic reactions of the vehicle and/or instruct, especially warn the drivers.
- driver assistance systems which with the aid of sensor systems detect the environment and from the thus recognized traffic situation derive automatic reactions of the vehicle and/or instruct, especially warn the drivers.
- comfort and safety functions are made between comfort and safety functions.
- FSRA Full Speed Range Adaptive Cruise Control
- the object of the invention generate an elevation measuring capability which does not increase or at least only insignificantly the costs and the size of the sensor.
- the advantages of the invention result from the fact that the substantially cost- and size-neutral elevation measuring capability allows for a stronger reaction to stationary objects (end of a traffic jam), which in particular for safety functions is disadvantageous for reducing the breaking or stopping distance.
- the radar system according to invention for detecting the environment of a motor vehicle comprises transmission means for emitting transmission signals using at least two transmitter antennas, receiving means for receiving transmission signals reflected by objects using one or more receiver antennas, wherein each antenna comprises a phase center. Furthermore, signal processing means are provided for processing the received signals. Received signals are acquired from different combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas. In each combination one transmitter and one receiver antenna each is active. The received signals thus result from reflected signals, which each originate from a transmitter antenna and are received by a receiver antenna. To each combination a relative phase center can be assigned, which is defined as the sum of the two vectors from a reference point to the phase centers of the respective transmitter and receiver antenna.
- Transmitter antennas have at least each approximately the same emission characteristic, the same applies to the receiver antennas.
- the emission characteristic of the transmitter antennas can be different to the emission characteristic of these receiver antennas.
- the spatial direction S that runs perpendicular to the spatial direction R the position of the relative phase centers of said combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas varies periodically with the period length P, if a series of said combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas is considered, which is arranged in the spatial direction R with regard to the position of the relative phase centers.
- An exemplary embodiment of such an antenna assembly is shown in FIG. 13 with the reference numeral 13 . 1 .
- the received signals from an object have a phase portion that alternates with the period length P over the combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas arranged as above, depending on the angular position of said object in the spatial direction S, which is used to make assertions about the position of objects in the spatial direction S.
- R is the horizontal direction and S is the vertical direction, so that by the phase portion that alternates with the period length P of the received signals of an object it is possible to make assertions with regard to its vertical position.
- the relative phase centers of the combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas in relation to the spatial direction R lie at least approximately equidistant.
- a digital beam formation or a high-resolution method is applied to measure or estimate from it the position of objects both in the spatial direction R and in the spatial direction S.
- a digital beam formation is performed with the aid of a discrete fourier transformation (DFT) of the length N if necessary while using a window function, for which purpose a sequence of the combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas is used, which are arranged in the spatial direction R with regard to the position of the relative phase centers.
- DFT discrete fourier transformation
- an object in the spectrum of the DFT generally produces P power peaks in the respective distance N/P and that the proportion between the spectral values at these power peaks depends on the angular position of the object in the spatial direction S.
- N is the DFT length
- P is the period length, with which the position of the relative phase centers of the combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas alternates with regard to the spatial direction S, if a sequence of these combinations of transmitter and receiver antennas is considered, which in the spatial direction R is arranged with regard to the position of the relative phase centers.
- the object elevation angle ⁇ El is estimated with the aid of the relation
- S is the vertical direction and in which the estimate of the angular position of objects in this vertical spatial direction S is used to recognize a misalignment of the radar system in elevation direction.
- S is the vertical direction and in which the estimate of the angular position of objects in this vertical spatial direction S is used to recognize a misalignment of the radar system in elevation direction.
- an averaging is effected via the estimated angular position of several objects, wherein a linear averaging (e.g. a weighted averaging) or a nonlinear averaging (e.g. median formation) is used.
- the transmitting antennas are arranged such that in the spatial direction R the distance of these N E transmitting antennas to each other is larger by the factor N E or N E ⁇ 1 than the distance of these N E receiver antennas to each other, whereby an arrangement with a transmitter antenna and maximum N S ⁇ N E in this spatial direction R equidistantly arranged receiver antennas is synthesized with at least approximately identical emission characteristic.
- the N S transmitter and the N E receiver antennas are realized in planar technology and are arranged on a plane surface. Moreover, at least two of the N S transmitter and of the N E receiver antennas overlap with regard to the spatial direction R. This overlap is realized by at least one of the subsequent arrangements and/or embodiments of these transmitter and receiver antennas:
- received signals are acquired from different combinations of transmission and receiver antennas.
- the transmission and receiver antennas used here each have at least approximately the same beam characteristic, wherein the beam characteristic of these transmission antennas can be different to the beam characteristic of these receiver antennas.
- the spatial direction R the position of the relative phase centers of these combinations from transmission and receiver antennas varies periodically with the period length Q by an equidistant raster.
- the signal processing means for determining the position of objects in the spatial direction R the fact is utilized that the received signals of an object, recorded by different combinations of transmission and receiver antennas, dependent from its angular position in the spatial direction R have a phase portion alternating with the period length Q apart from a linear phase portion, if a sequence of the combinations from transmission and receiver antennas ordered in the spatial direction R with regard to the position of the relative phase centers is considered.
- the linear phase portion of the received signals allows for a fine, but ambiguous angle determination in the spatial direction R, whereas the alternating phase portion allows for a rough, but clear angle determination.

- FIG. 28 shows an antenna diagram, which is sensitive by corresponding shoulders also outside of the azimuthal range ⁇ 19.5 . . . +19.5.
- Embodiment 1 According to FIG. 1
- the radar system has 2 transmitter antennas TX 0 and TX 1 for emitting transmission signals and 4 receiver antennas RX 0 -RX 3 for receiving transmission signals reflected at objects; the antennas are embodied as patch antennas on a planar board 1 . 1 in planar technology, wherein this board is oriented with regard to horizontal and vertical direction as is shown in the drawing. All antennas (transmitter and receiver antennas) have the same emission characteristic in elevation and azimuth.
- the 4 receiver antennas (and thus their phase, i.e. emission centers) each have the same lateral, i.e.
- the multiplexers 1 . 3 and 1 . 4 in each case one of the two transmitter antennas and one of the 4 receiver antennas can be selected.
- the transmission signals emitted on the respectively selected transmitter antenna are gained from the high frequency oscillator 1 . 2 in the 24GHz-range, which can be changed in its frequency via a control voltage v control ; the control voltage 1 . 9 is generated in the control means.
- the signals received from the respectively selected receiver antenna are equally down-mixed in the real-valued mixer 1 . 5 with the signal of the oscillator 1 . 2 into the low frequency range. Thereafter, the received signals go through a bandpass filter 1 . 6 with the shown transfer function, an amplifier 1 . 7 and an A/D converter 1 . 8 ; subsequently they are further processed in a digital signal processing unit 1 . 10 .
- the frequency of the high frequency oscillator and thus of the transmission signals is changed very quickly in linear manner (in 8 ⁇ s by 187.5 MHz); this is referred to as a frequency ramp.
- the frequency ramps are periodically repeated (all 10 ⁇ s); in total there are 2048 frequency ramps.
- the 8 combinations of the 2 transmitter and 4 receiver antennas are periodically repeated in the order TX 0 /RX 0 , TX 0 /RX 1 , TX 0 /RX 2 , TX 0 /RX 3 , TX 1 /RX 0 , TX 1 /RX 1 , TX 1 /RX 2 and TX 1 /RX 3 , wherein before each frequency ramp the respective next combination is selected.
- the received signal is real-valued mixed with the oscillator and thus with the transmission frequency, a sinusoidal oscillation with the frequency Lf results after the mixer.
- This frequency lies in the MHz-range and is still shifted with a non-vanishing radial relative speed by the Doppler frequency, which lies, however, only in the kHz-range and which is, therefore, approximately negligible compared to the frequency portion by the object distance. If there are several objects, then the received signal is a superposition of several sinusoidal oscillations of different frequency.
- each frequency ramp the received signal is sampled in each case 256 times at the A/D converter at the distance of 25 ns (i.e. with 40 MHz) (see FIG. 2 ).
- a signal sampling makes sense only in the time range, where received signals of objects arrive within the receivable distance range—thus after the ramp start at least the propagation time corresponding to the maximum receivable distance must be waited for (with a maximum receivable distance of 150 m this corresponds to 1 ⁇ s).
- DFT Discrete Fourier Transformation
- FFT Fast Fourier Transformation
- the distance gates in which the objects are located, power peaks occur in the DFT.
- the sampled received signals are real-valued and the upper transition region of the analogue bandpass filter 1 . 5 in FIG.
- the filter 1 . 5 absorbs small frequencies and thus the received signals of close objects, in order to avoid an overmodulation of the amplifier 1 . 6 and of the ND converter 1 . 7 (the signals received at the antennas get stronger with decreasing object distance).
- Several objects with different radial relative speed in the same distance gate are separated by the fact that a second DFT is calculated for each antenna combination and each distance gate over the complex spectral values resulting in the 256 frequency ramps.
- Each discrete frequency supporting point I of this second DFT corresponds to a set of Doppler frequencies (because of the sampling of the Doppler frequency it can be defined only up to an unknown integral multiple of its sampling frequency) and thus to a set of radial relative speeds v rel of objects, so that the discrete frequency supporting points of the second DFT can be referred to as relative-speed-gates; for linguistic simplification from this point on the addition “radial” is omitted for the radial relative speed.
- the size(2a+d/2+m ⁇ d) represents the horizontal distance of the so-called relative phase center of the antenna combination m to the reference point RP and is the sum of horizontal distance of the assigned transmitter and receiver antenna to the reference point (the relative phase center of a combination of a transmitter and of a receiver antenna here is defined as a sum of the two vectors from a reference point to the phase centers of the transmitter and of the receiver antenna).
- the arrangement according to FIG. 1 represented here has the advantage that it has nearly only half the horizontal expansion compared to the conventional arrangement according to FIG. 7 a, as a result of which the sensor size can be significantly reduced.
- sums are created via the complex values to the 8 antenna combinations, which are each multiplied with a set of complex factors with a linear changing phase; dependent on the linear phase change of the respective factor set lobes with different beam directions result.
- the beam width of these lobes is significantly smaller than that of the individual antennas.
- the above described summation is realized by a 16-point-DFT, wherein the 8 values of the 8 antenna combinations are supplemented by 8 zeros.
- the discrete frequency values n 0, 1, . . .
- the object dimensions can be determined by interpolation in response of these levels still substantial more accurately than the gate width.
- the window functions of the three DFTs are selected such that on the one hand the power peaks do not get too wide (for a sufficient object separation), but on the other hand also the side lobes of the window spectra do not get too high (in order to be able to detect also weakly-reflective objects in the presence of highly-reflective objects). From the height of the power peaks as the fourth object dimension also its reflection cross section can be estimated, which indicates, how strong the object reflects the radar waves.
- the described detection of objects and the determination of the assigned object dimensions represent a measuring cycle and supply a momentaneous picture of the environment; this is periodically repeated approx. all 30 ms.
- the momentaneous pictures are pursued, filtered and evaluated throughout successive cycles; the reasons for this are in particular:
- Pursuing and filtering of object detections over successive cycles is also referred to as tracking.
- object values for the next cycle are predicted from the tracked object dimensions of the current cycle. These predictions are compared with the objects and their object dimensions detected in the next cycle as a snapshot, in order to suitably assign them to each other. Then the predicted and measured object dimensions belonging to the same object are merged, from which result the current tracked object dimensions, which thus represent values filtered over successive cycles. If certain object dimensions cannot be clearly determined in a cycle, the different hypotheses are to be considered with the tracking. From the tracked objects and the assigned tracked object dimensions the environment situation for the respective driver assistance function is analyzed and interpreted, in order to derive from it that or the relevant objects and thus the corresponding actions.
- Embodiment 2 According to FIG. 10
- the embodiment of the sensor according to FIG. 1 considered so far has the disadvantage that the 8 antenna combinations are sequentially operated, i.e. reception is always performed only on one antenna combination—this affects negatively the system sensitivity.
- the arrangement according to FIG. 10 overcomes this disadvantage.
- Both transmitter antennas TX 0 and TX 1 are parallel operated, and the signals of the 4 receiver antennas RX 0 -RX 3 are parallel evaluated.
- the output signal of the high frequency oscillator 10 . 2 is applied over the power divider 10 . 3 simultaneously to both transmitter antennas, and on the receiving side up to the digital signal processing means there are 4 parallel channels.
- the second DFT has now the length 512 (there are 512 frequency ramps) and is determined for the four reception channels and for each distance gate.
- TX 1 By the phase modulation of TX 1 an object in the second DFT generates in each reception channel and in the corresponding distance gate two power peaks at the distance of 12.5 kHz; the power peak at the frequency corresponding to the relative speed originates from the transmitter antenna TX 0 , the power peak shifted by 12.5 kHz originates from the transmitter antenna TX 1 .
- the portions originating from the two transmitter antennas are separated.
- the system sensitivity increases by 6 dB, since the bandwidth of the bandpass filters 10 . 6 in relation to the original embodiment is reduced by the factor 4 (the sampling during the frequency ramps is slower by a factor 4, since the frequency ramps are longer by this factor). Based on the double length 512 of the second DFT in addition this results in an integration gain higher by 3 dB. For the case that per transmitter antenna the same high power is emitted during the frequency ramps, this results in a total increase of the system sensitivity by 9 dB. If the transmission power is halved per transmitter antenna (e.g. due to the simultaneous supply of two antennas from one source or because the entire transmission line is limited due to approval regulations), this results in an increase of the system sensitivity by 6 dB.
- the eighth antenna combination of transmitter antenna TX 1 and receiver antenna RX 3 is not possible, so that there are only 7 antenna combinations; for the third DFT then the signal of the eighth antenna combination is to be set to zero. In the other case, thus if the right antenna can work simultaneously as a transmitter and receiver antenna, all 8 antenna combinations are possible.
- this antenna must be connected alternately or permanently with the HF-generation and the receiving mixer; this can be realized for example with the subsequent forms of embodiment for the connecting element 12 . 11 :
- the receiving signals of the different antenna combinations do not have the same level; this is to be considered with the angle formation methods (e.g. with the digital beam formation) and is to be compensated, if necessary.
- blind antennas could be arranged with the same structure as the effective antennas (i.e. an antenna column with 8 patches); these blind antennas would then have to be locked with adaptation.
- all antennas would be affected in same way by the respective neighbor antennas (in particular by coupling), which is more uncritical for the angle formation methods than a different impact by neighbor antennas.
- Embodiment 4 According to FIG. 13
- the relative phase centers of the antenna combinations must have a different vertical position (the relative phase center of a combination of a transmitter and of a receiver antenna is here defined as sum of the two vectors from a reference point to the phase centers of the transmitter and of the receiver antenna).
- the path length r(m) for the antenna combination m 4 ⁇ m TX +m RX from the transmitter antenna TXm TX to the object and back to the receiver antenna RXm RX results in
- r RP is the path length from a reference point RP on the antenna plate to the object
- b is the vertical distance between the reference point and the transmitter antennas
- c is the vertical offset between transmitter antennas and the two upper receiver antennas RX 0 and RX 2 and mod(.,2) the modulo function to 2.
- the size (2b+c+mod(m,2) s) represents the vertical distance of the relative phase center of the antenna combination m to the reference point RP and is the sum from the vertical distance of the assigned transmitter and receiver antenna to the reference point.
- the additional factor f(m) exp[ ⁇ j ⁇ 2 ⁇ / ⁇ sin( ⁇ El ) ⁇ s ⁇ mod(m,2)], effected by the offset of the receiver antennas, changes the spectrum w(j,l,n) of v(j,l,m) formed in the third DFT as is explained hereinafter.
- the represented approach for the measurement and/or estimation of elevation angles can be interpreted also in such a way that into the digital beam formation for the azimuth angle a mono-pulse method for the elevation angle is incorporated (mono-pulse method means that by phase comparison of two offset antennas (groups) an angle is determined).
- This approach has the advantage that on the one hand all evaluation methods (such as e.g.
- the simple digital beam formation with a DFT) based on equidistant receiver antennas can be maintained and that on the other hand for the azimuth angle there are no losses for the accuracy and only small losses for the separation capability (the latter applies only with objects with an azimuth angle distance corresponding to half the DFT length, if for the objects a position outside of the horizontal plane is possible); with a conventional approach for a simultaneous angular measurement in azimuth and elevation, which comprises for the antenna combinations two groups one above the other without horizontal offset to each other, with an equal number of antenna combinations this would result in that the accuracy and separation capability for the azimuth angle would be halved.
- the periodic vertical offset of the antenna combinations can in principle also be embodied with a higher period length P than 2.
- P the period length of the digital beam formation
- N the DFT-length of the digital beam formation
- FIG. 17 In a real environment it is to be considered for the elevation measurement that the road surface has a reflecting property; this is shown in FIG. 17 .
- An object receives transmission power on a direct and on a path reflected at the road surface.
- the sensor in addition to the real object sees a mirror object, which has approximately the same (radial) distance as the real object, but lies by the height h O of the real object underneath the road surface.
- Dependent on the height h S of the sensor above the road surface the real and the mirror object have a different amount of the elevation angle, wherein the difference decreases with an increasing distance.
- the phase of the received signals of real and mirror object are generally different, since they slightly differ in their distance; this phase difference changes above the distance r of the real object.
- the described effects are the stronger pronounced, the higher the real object is located above the road surface.
- the real and mirror object are in the same distance-relative-speed-gate; they have the same azimuth angle, but different elevation angles.
- the period length 2 considered above as an example for the vertical offset of the receiver antennas both objects cannot be dissolved; on average the reflection focus lies approximately on the height of the road surface.
- this criterion can also be used in the closer range to distinguish relevant protruding objects on the roadway (e.g. vehicles and pedestrians) on the one hand and on the other hand smaller objects (e.g. can of coke) lying on the road and thus being able to be driven over as well as unevenness of the road surface (e.g. by offset board joint).
- relevant protruding objects on the roadway e.g. vehicles and pedestrians
- smaller objects e.g. can of coke
- the actually measured elevation angle can be used, in particular as by the elevation beam focusing the reflections of a real protruding object are significantly larger than the reflections of its mirror object, so that approximately the actual angle of the real object is measured, from which approximately its real height can be determined.
- the elevation measuring capability can also be used for recognizing and if necessary for correcting a misalignment of the sensor in elevation direction and/or for monitoring its elevation orientation.
- For determining the actual elevation orientation only moved objects which are sufficiently far away are suitable, since moved objects (vehicles) apart from few special cases lie for instance on the same height as the own vehicle and in sufficient distance the road reflections have only little influence on the measured elevation angle, since the elevation angles of the real and mirror object differ only little (how far the objects have to be away depends on the required accuracy for the determination of the elevation orientation. Stationary objects, in contrast, are not suitable since they can lie in different elevation angles (on or above the roadway).
- the sensor shows a misalignment by this average measured elevation angle, as other vehicles on average are located approximately in horizontal direction to the own vehicle, i.e. with a real elevation 0°; for example the sensor for an average measured elevation angle of +2° (for a sensor objects lie approx. 2° above the roadway) looks approx. 2° downward.
- the averaging via measured elevation angles of several objects can be effected either linear, i.e. by weighted averaging, however, nonlinear averaging is more suitable, which reduce the influence of outliers in a series of measurements—the median is mentioned as an example.
- Embodiments 5-10 According to FIG. 21-26
- the embodiments considered so far have only one column per individual antenna (thus per transmitter and receiver antenna), whereby they emit very wide in horizontal direction (azimuth). Such arrangements are typically used for close range sensors, since they must have a wide horizontal detection range, but, however, do not have a large reach.
- Remote range sensors opposite to close range sensors have the requirement of a higher reach and thus a system sensitivity as well as a higher measurement accuracy and a separation capability for the azimuth angle; in return the horizontal detection a may be restricted.
- the distance of the antennas to each other is increased (e.g.
- FIG. 20 a a corresponding ideal antenna diagram is shown, which suppresses any transmission and/or reception for azimuth angles outside of this range. In reality such antenna diagrams with sharp detection limits and complete suppression cannot be generated outside.
- FIG. 20 b shows a realizable antenna diagram, which outside of the azimuth range ⁇ 19.5 . . . +19.5 has at least 15 dB suppression. On system level a suppression of the double value 30 dB results, provided that the antennas have such an antenna diagram both for transmission and for reception. With this only for very strong reflective objects it can come to ambiguities for the azimuth angle.
- the width of these antennas must be at least about twice as large as the distance d of horizontally successive receiver antennas.
- the horizontal width of antennas can be made twice as large as their distance.
- the locking in the case of the arrangement according to FIG. 24 a results in an offset of the antennas in vertical direction and thus implicitly in the above described elevation measuring capability, with the alternative antenna assembly according to FIG. 24 b this is not the case.
- the locking shown in both examples from the side it could be embodied also from above and/or from underneath.
- the above antenna assemblies for remote range sensors always comprise two transmitter antennas on the outside and thereby the effective aperture of the sensor can be nearly doubled in relation to its width —by means of this also in the 24 GHz-range sensors for long-reach functions with an acceptable sensor size can be realized.
- the linear frequency modulation in contrast to the interpretation for the embodiments 1 and 2 have only half the frequency deviation, i.e. 93.75 MHz.
- the above described methods for realizing an overlapping of antennas, in particular in horizontal direction, can be applied also for close range sensors.
- the embodiment 2 according to FIG. 10 is an example for an arrangement of the transmitter antennas above the receiver antennas (i.e. when seen vertically they are in different planes).
- Embodiment 11 According to FIG. 27
- the individual antennas significantly emit and/or receive also outside of the azimuthal range ⁇ 19.5 . . . +19.5 by corresponding shoulders in the antenna diagram (see FIG. 28 ); such shoulders can be generated by the fact that patches in the central portion when seen horizontally of the individual antennas emit significantly more than the others, whereby a narrow and a wide antenna diagram are superimposed (by such an approach the antenna gain and thus the system sensitivity are reduced in the central portion, where a high reach is required, only relatively small).
- the relative phase centers of the 8 antenna combinations do not lie equidistantly in horizontal direction, but they have an offset alternating with the period length 2 to an equidistant raster.
- the periodic horizontal offset of the antenna combinations can principally be also embodied with a higher period length Q than 2.
- Q power peaks with respective distance N/Q result in the spectrum, wherein N is the DFT-length of the digital beam formation; from the values of these power peaks again the azimuth angle can be clearly determined, wherein now even a separation capability of objects, which generate power peaks with identical frequency values n, will be possible.
- two digital beam formations in a DFT are superimposed—the one is fine, but ambiguous, the other for single objects is clear, but rough.
